STAR RATINGS GUIDE
THE BIRDICT
💛 The strongest part of this was its themes. Social media fakery and holistic fads are topics guaranteed to get the mind ticking over. That coupled with decent writing and well-delivered wit (#fishhavefeelings) made this a pleasant way to spend 11 and a half hours.
💚 Having said that, the plot and main character let it down. Now, for me, plot isn't the be all and end all, but this was slightly too convoluted. As such, Jessica Bradley, an otherwise intelligent main character made some odd choices for the sake of progressing it. In particular, she seemed to completely ignore her daughter until everyone else was screaming at her to notice.
💜 Overall, this was exactly what it said on the cover. Fine. I think anyone looking for a light rom-com would enjoy it.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
🎧 This was the very definition of an easy listen; the kind of audiobook you can have on in the background without worrying a momentary lapse of concentration will have you scrabbling for the rewind button.
🎧 Olivia Mace was an excellent choice for this.She sounded the very epitome of a bemused-at-life mum and instagrammer. Lots of energy and pith.
SHALL I COMPARE THEE TO...
My favourite book in this genre (mumlife humour lit) is Why Mummy Drinks. If you like this and you haven’t already, give that a listen.
